Some hashtag destinations (e.g., !tpb and !torrent) are available via HTTPS - could you please redirect to the HTTPS version, instead of the HTTP version?

Just in case you didn't know, DDG only redirects to the HTTPS version of hashtags (better known as !bangs) if you're in the secure version of DuckDuckGo. (For example, searching "!wikipedia duckduckgo" in the HTTP version goes to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckduckgo", while in the HTTPS version it goes to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Duckduckgo".)

To make things easier, can you please list all of the hashtags that you know of that have an HTTPS version that is not currently being used?

Yes, that's right. For ones like torrents we could just make the https the default -- but yeah, we need to know which ones to switch, and ideally the urls to use (if they are on a seperate domain). You can submit them here actually: http://duckduckgo.com/newbang.html

Darn, I can't believe I forget to mention the official !Bang submission page!

Haha, you always beat me to it, so I seized my chance

I'll post other destinations as soon as I notice them.

However, it would be nice if !tpb and !torrent were redirect to the HTTPS version.

Currently it redirects to the HTTP version, even though I'm using the HTTPS version of DDG.

What are the correct urls? E.g. http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq={{{s}}}

I tried just adding an s but get a cert warning.

For me this works fine:

https://thepiratebay.org/

https://isohunt.com/

The Piratebay works without any cert warnings or other problems.

For IsoHunt the cert works, but Chromium displays a content warning in the URL bar, as some of the resources loaded by IsoHunt aren't encrypted. This isn't really a problem on Chromium, as there is no warning dialog. But maybe other browsers display a warning dialog instead.

Maybe the whole thing (SSL vs. non-SSL) should be a user-configurable option? E.g. some users will prefer to always use the SSL encrypted version, even if this means that there may be certificate warning.

This should be all set.
